That's a super lookling plant Moban. What kind? How old?
I dont wanna Hijack Marks thread, sorry for postin bout my plant and not yours man, your a cool guy im sure you wont mind too much last one promise...... It is a SweetToothxShoreline(Texas strain), was started on March 20th....Going into flower tonight, it already stinks my flower room up and i only have two of those babys.
no worries, that's a nice looking plant man :)
still coming along good...here's some pics..main cola on my right plant, and a little bud pushing out some slight purple, maybe I'll have a beautiful purple plant or two by the end...definitely not from cold temps, that's for sure...
first pic is of the one that's looking good as far as a nice cola goes, wish it would fatten up some and stop growing vertically, second has a bit of purple at the top..
How many more days??
well, I'm totally new to the whole trichome measurement thing, but I do have a 30x scope and will use it to confirm time of harvest...going at least half amber if not 3/4...dead couchlock, baby...I hear CBD is more effective than THC at affecting the body, and that's what I need..I love the heavy buzz.Quote:

Can anyone give me some insight...Okay, what I'm shooting for is 1/2 amber to 3/4 amber....at that point I shouldn't see any clear trichomes at all correct? I'm just for some reason thinking it may be difficult to determine considering there are literally probably millions of trichs on the plants...I've seen pics to help, but can anyone just shed some light on this for me? I've never used a scope to determine time of harvest, nor have I ever made a harvest. thanks everyone..
:thumbsup:
I don't know how they judge but I'm guessing they look at every bud on the plant and judge by the color of most of the trichomes they see on the buds..I really don't know. But as for harvesting I'm wondering now when I should cut too lol. I think I want do it when most are cloudy. Hopefully I only have to flower for 7 weeks, that'd be perfect.Quote:

The buds closest to the light will mature first generally. It becomes a matter of diminishing results after awhile. Usually, imo, you will see about 5-10 percent clear ones even at the end. Try to pick a bud in the middle and follow the same one if each you can or the same two or three. If you look at a different bud each time you're going to get some cattywampus results. ;)
You harvest when it's about the right buzz for you, I stay away from a more buzzy feeling..lots of regular sativa dominant stuff here, I don't care for it...Indica comes close to numbing my body, makes me feel very relaxed...it's so amazing :stoned:Quote:

I have however a couple times gotten some sativa dominant stuff that just konked me out...looked at it under scope and it was nearly all amber, was some heavy shit.
remember orangeman, don't cut it too early, you'll get nothing. make sure you see those trichs getting cloudy first, even if it takes longer than you want
that purple tip is absolutely amazing.
Outstanding job!:clap:
okay, but remember that at least on my topped one with lots of big budsites they are all about the same level...the other two plants grew differently, I really think it would put a lot of stress to cut off a top portion of those other two, but the plant would probably deal with it and keep going, right? thanks for input about watching the same bud, that's a good point..I will however check lower parts of others to see how the ones a bit further away may be, this is all new like I said, but it should be a wonderful experience.Quote:

I've got a damn good buzz right now :D:rasta:
Hi Rock.. Mark wait until you actually have to cut the thing down.....you'll be really sad until you start snipping away and then you'll be over it. Your plants are fairly unique in that they are pretty even to the light all the way around. You certainly can cut the upper buds and let the lower ones finish. That was my plan for my last grow until I had the rootbound issues.
cool, thanks. I'm 3 months in, 1 more to go...as long as this stuff doesn't end up tasting nasty and moldy when it's dried and cured, I'll be a happy camper :) for some reason I'm thinking though that the remaining musty odor may go away once the buds are dry and all of the water is out of them..we'll see..either way, when you rub your finger on any trichs, that shit smells POWERFUL :D that koolbloom gave it a real kick to the smell of it since I started using it.Quote:

You should buy your blueberries at the food store and not on the internet.

Don't be so weird lol. And Postman I think you should get some DJ Short BB's. I never seen anyone grow DJ Shorts BB plants out.Quote:

Mark....looking good as always. :thumbsup:
These were from a friend's dutch passion grow that had a few hermies and made him some beans...they're f2's, but apparently are feminised blueberries...Quote:

certainly didn't like the amount of nutes I first started giving, but I backed off to a more acceptable amount for them..
Yes I had two last blueberry/afgahni seeds left when I started my hydo growing and popped them in my setup. One turned out to be male and one finished but I remember them being very sensitive to nutes at the begininng but really loving lots of nutes at the end.
I bought some Master Kush feminised seeds and have had mixed reactions about them. Out of four seeds one died as a seedling and one of three remaining ones was a very poor grower. The other two look great but at those $$$ you'd like better than 50% success rate.
My grow is the complete opposite my Dutch passion bb's are loving the nutes..... its my S.A.G.E that is being a biatch with the nutes....lol
Hey everyone, just got done flushing all three of them...good grief that was a lot of work and actually started as an accident..but is something I've probably been needing to do badly..10 minutes after I water them, my catch saucers are overflowing with orange nasty looking runoff...all three of them went in the tub and had a couple few gallons ran through. I just got done a few minutes ago, I went ahead and put up a bit more reflective material covering the white spot..I don't know why the fuck I didn't do that when I started this grow, it sure reflects more light than the flat white, that's for sure..I can tell that just by looking at it. that was fucking hell doing all of that shit...wasn't much of a mess though, the mylar sitting under my buckets doesn't let water get under it, and I can just put a towel on top of it..
I'll probably take some pics sometime, not much going on right now, after my hermie episode I've observed seeds starting to form in some calyxes, and I think it's slowing the production lots, and I'm just hoping that it's going to continue to bloom female...I would hate for any of them to turn male at this point...
those of you wanting dutch passion blueberry feminised just may be in luck, I may be up to my elbows with beans in the end, sure would be nice to only get a couple though.
I think the roots have really engulfed those buckets, which could by why it's so hard to get water to drain through, or I just need to give them more than a half gallon..which may be a next step. I gotta make sure I don't overfill them anymore, or get some giant catch pans that I can empty without removing buckets from the room..
my back is KILLING me...we did a group of 20 people at 8:00 right when we closed at the restaurant, and then I come home to work for a couple more hours...bong time, good friend of mine let me borrow this one until I can get him $20 for it, used to do bongs every time I smoked, but since I broke mine I've been smoking from my pipe and doing the bong on special occasions...this is one of them :D Big isn't it? :stoned:
also, check out the owl that my very talented friend is carving out of marble with his caveman tools for a good friend :thumbsup:
Mark nice bong my man! Worth breaking the other over maybe? :D
That owl is looking lovely...the man has talent....I could never do that but sure appreciate those who can. :thumbsup:
So had to work on the smelly monsters eh? Yeah, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet for them.....ungrateful things. Give them an inch and they'll take a yard every time... :D :D
Oh one q I forgot....can you really tell there are seeds growing inside? How can you tell?
k, the calyxes were partially spread open and I could see a tiny ball inside some of them, this was a couple days ago and now it's hard to notice it, but a few of them are looking more swollen than the others and I expect beans to be forming inside those..note the little green/white specs inside the calyxes, these are the best pics I could get to show you...I'm the kind of person that sits in there for over an hour easily looking at every single bloom...I love it, and this was very noticeable for me at first, but now seems harder to spot.Quote:

F*cking trichomes ALL over those buds. Jeez, thats sweet. :thumbsup:
thanks, and yeah I will DEFINITELY be investing in some of it. and next go around I think I'll be quite knowledgable of hydro and I'll make me a few waterfarms and do hydro. This time with dirt I kinda understand why most people prefer hydro...I've had unstable PH throughout and have had some problems with nutes, with hydro I really don't think that would happen at all...Quote:

trichs are starting to look very nice indeed, here in a few more weeks I'll start taking a couple calyxes and see what color they are.
I'm so much more satisfied and happy with the formation of the one that was topped and lst'd...I tied the main stalk down all the way until it was topped, when it was topped it had 4 other nice bud sites grow up and catch up to the main 2 tops, they're all six nice big buds at the same height now. had I done that with the other two and properly managed so that the other bud sites came up with the rest, I would have so many right now, but you learn as you go, eh? that's my game plan for next time. top all of them a couple times at least and keep all sites tied to same height. damn fine hobby it is :thumbsup:
Hey man! yea there seeds. Ur plant or plants have turned hermaphrodite! All mine have done the same! iv spent the last day trying to sort them out! :S Check for bananas on the bottom half of your plant near the stem! Ul find signs of pollen. Its a bitch! BB is so hard to grow and prown to stress - they easily turn on you.
U need to remove all the bananas asap! As the more there are the more seed your going to get! If seed gets over 10% thc production will halt!
Sorry man! itâ??s a bitch, im well pissed off with mine - theyâ??ve had all the love in the world!
if uv got yahoo add me man! can have a chat bout it! theres a few things u can do to help!
Tom sounds like you've seen a few seeds along the line there in your growing days...;)
Here's my new theory about hermies.....God wanted to make sure mj didn't die off because he knew the great properties of it so he built in that safety measure......anyone buy it? :D
lol nah man! this is my 1st ever batch to tern on me!! :( im gutted! thought id achieved a decent bb grow but thatâ??s so hard to do! :(
Itâ??s the strain - its gotta be a perfect grow all the way! Perfect environment and everything! Its def a strain im going to keep growing just so I can conker the bitch! - I had a problem with my bulb half way into the grow! Light turned off for a few hours it must of stressed the strain to much!
Im guessing in Markassâ??s case it was the high humidity - the majority of other strains would cope with problems like this but not bb!
Well we shall see how my Reverse does here....I have one f BB seed going right now....same as Mark's strain there. I have a lot of faith in this stuff so I guess it will be put to the test on her.....I have yet to complete a grow without at least one major incident....my record is intact w/my present grow....I about fungus sprayed them to death. :wtf:
I'm.sill.always.watching.markass...
I was wondering something about flushing. Does it matter what you use to flush your plants? I have a sink downstairs and I want to use that when I flush my plants because I don't want to bring them upstairs to the tub. Does it matter if the water is hot or cold? And how do I know when to stop giving them water lol?
Also I want to see what topping can do..On my next grow I might try LSTing my plant and then topping to see what happens lol. I wonder how many tops I'll get. When should I top my plants? Like how many nodes should they have?
water is all...I used plain water from the tub faucet, it doesn't matter as long as you have them somewhere they can drain off...I poured enough water through until it was nice and clear...you have seen what topping does, pal..I topped mine a couple of weeks before 12/12, let it have a week to recover and another week of good growth before switching the lights. I wasn't going for an insane amount of tops, I just wanted them to be nice and big, and at the same level. that's exactly what I got from it.Quote:

the other two have lots of small bud sites that are uneven and vary greatly in sizes...
